3. Paragraph [Compare/Contrast]:
Using quotations from both passages, describe how each author defines success.

First paragraph (theme + thesis statement):

Although society judges people based on how much money they have, the feeling of true success comes from helping others. Both "Gracious Goodness" by Marge Piercy and "To Have Succeeded" by Ralph Waldo Emerson define success as acting selflessly to help others.

Second paragraph (text 1):

In "Gracious Goodness", Piercy describes helping a wounded, trapped bird and the satisfaction she feels helping it escape. The author "yanked out the barbs", and "cut and drew out the barb" (17-18). The author describes that she felt "a sunrise in the belly" because she was able to free the bird (23). When the author asserts that "nothing (she has) ever done" seems as virtuous, the reader understands that to Piercy, success means acting selflessly (24-26).

**Homework: Finish the composition --> write the analysis for "To Have Succeeded" following the model above.**
*** Study literary devices ***

English 12
Catcher in the Rye
1. Read/discuss chapters 10-12.
2. Assignment: Madonna/Whore Complex T-Chart
- Holden seems to only be able to view females as innocent or "whorey", is this merely a reflection of his arrested development resulting from Allie's death, or are there other issues at work here? Does it further the idea of Holden as unable to fit in anywhere (too old to be young, too young to be old)? Remember, Holden's reference to his own loneliness and isolation is constant, and in terms of sex, he yearns for connection but is afraid of intimacy. The reader must ascertain whether this is "normal" for his age or if it speaks to Holden's instability.
*Provide 5-8 quotations for each side of the chart, describing the women and details for each scene in terms of how Holden relates (or fails to relate) to women/girls*
3. Analysis:
- At sixteen, he already knows a lot about cocktails and what’s appropriate when. He’s already got
adult opinions. He’s already aware of what’s “not done” and is very judgmental about anyone who
strays from the proper way of doing things, which shows how conflicted he is. He doesn't want to follow
the narrow rules of society, but he’s judgmental about others who don’t know the rules.
- Holden is confused and insecure himself. By criticizing others, he’s establishing his own superiority
and trying to make himself feel better. If he can show everyone else is a phony, then he can believe
he’s not.
